At 690 V the 17 kA figure still covers most industrial service-entrance faults. ## Thermal derating and where it matters Rated 250 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then it starts to pull back: 240 A at 55 °C, 235 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 225 A at 70 °C. If your panel sits in a hot mill environment or a non-conditioned electrical room that hits 55 °C in summer, you lose only 10 A — that's a shallow derating curve, which means the breaker isn't oversized just to survive ambient heat. The maximum power loss is 37.5 W, so ventilation in the enclosure is still worth planning for. ## What fits in the panel The 138 mm width for a 3-pole 250 A frame is standard for SENTRON 3VA2 breakers, so a panel laid out for a 3VA2 family breaker takes this without re-drilling the mounting plate. ## Auxiliary and trip accessories built in The ETU320 trip unit handles the overcurrent protection curves; the voltage trigger is present for undervoltage or overvoltage sensing if wired externally. ## Environmental range The storage range covers cold-weather shipping and hot warehouse storage without damage.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2325-5HL32-0JL0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2325-5HL32-0JL0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
